SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY EVALUATION 供應鏈安全評估
Fruit of the Loom, Inc. Security Policy
It is the policy of Fruit of the Loom, Inc. to take necessary steps to prevent violation of our supply chain's integrity.
We will ensure that terrorists, terrorist weapons and materials, and other contraband, do not enter our supply
chain and the products and materials are not lost, stolen or robbed.
We will accomplish this with our own foreign facilities and by working with our manufacturing suppliers, vendors,
licensees, carriers, forwarders, brokers, truckers and other relevant business partners. Fruit of the Loom, Inc. will
periodically conduct assessments of our global supply chains based upon the Fruit of the Loom, Inc. security
criteria to ensure that pertinent security measures are in place and adhered to throughout the supply chain.
All our suppliers are required to complete a supply chain security self-assessment. See page 23 for details.
C-TPAT Assessment
(For exporters to the US market only)
The United States Department of Homeland Security and the United States Customs Service launched the Customs
Trade Partnership against Terrorism (C-TPAT) with the goal of securing trade channels against terrorism and
protecting U. S. borders. The C-TPAT program calls on the trade industry to support government efforts by
securing their supply chain within the domestic United States and aboard.
Fruit of the Loom Inc. is committed to comply with the requirements set forth in the C-TPAT program. Security
assessments are required for all factories exporting any of our products to the United States market and should be
conducted by one of the approved third party monitoring companies as outline on page 3 of this guide. The
Assessment will consist of a walkthrough of the facility. The walkthrough must include all work floors, vehicle
parking areas, warehouses, storage facilities, and packing and loading areas.
